Not really sure about inmates going to the hospital or that being a reason to opt against it.
Yep, I had epidurals with all three. I knew I'd have one the first time and tried both other times to not, but it's just not in me. And I have a very high tolerance for pain normally. It's just not something I was able to do. I have the utmost respect for women who can give birth without epidurals, but for me, it's the way to go. And there was no ill effect on any of my kids or on me, other than some lingering pain in the injection site for a day or so after the birth.
